Hello! My name is Royce, after jiu jitsu legend Royce Gracie, because I came wandering into a jiu jitsu academy, where my foster folks picked me up. It was obvious that I was sweet, but I was also too skinny, and the neighbors confirmed I was a stray.
Now things are much better! I am a sweet boy, and despite my tough name, I’m definitely a pacifist! Other pups, people, cats – everyone is okay by me! I assume (usually rightly) that they are all my friends!
While I am still a younger guy, I settle down quickly at night, and sit on the couch with my family and watch TV. Foster parents have taken me for hikes, and I generally like to hang close to my people. Because of my “couch-ability,” in addition to my sweet and goofy nature, foster dad says I am going to be quite the catch for some family. Maybe yours???

I LOVE YOU ALreADY!!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
